Lueddemann’s-on-the-River
Lower Oakland Ave. at Edgewood
Ave
In 1872 Frederick A.
Lueddemann opened Lueddemann’s-on-the-River in the Town of Milwaukee as a
landscaped urban retreat, a large building with apartments, restaurant and
billiard tables. In 1900 it was purchased and renamed “Coney Island” with a
roller coaster and other amusement park facilities. But the loud music and
garish lights with limited action by Town of Milwaukee led the village to
incorporate as East Milwaukee in 1900. Ravenna Park, the last of series of
parks closed in 1916. The land was subdivided and the structures removed.
Only Hubbard Park remains.

Atwater Park
Veterans' Memorial |
|
A 31’ long cast bronze
plaque “Honoring Shorewood Veterans Who Served in War and Peace” is the
centerpiece of Atwater Park’s Lake Michigan overlook.
Dedicated on May 28,
2000, the plaque was a project of the Shorewood Centennial Committee during
the celebration of the Village’s 100th birthday.
It had taken 57 years
to establish a permanent memorial to veterans in Shorewood. In 1943, a
temporary memorial, on the High School grounds, listed 1200 names of those
serving in World War II. Within four years the honor roll had doubled and,
with no agreement on a permanent memorial, the honor roll was veiled and
taken down.
Over the years, various
committees considered sites for a permanent location, rejected proposed
designs and lacked funding to pursue the project.
With renewed interest
in establishing a permanent veterans’ memorial in 2000, funding was obtained
from the Shorewood Men’s Club, the North Shore American Legion Post #331 and
the Shorewood Foundation (formerly SCIF).
